1.) Start an elevated command prompt (have to be elevated to run CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.Register()) (press windows key, type cmd, press ctrl+shift+enter is one way).

<p>You can automate intl.cpl using the info from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnste/archive/2007/04/12/configuring-international-settings-from-the-command-line.aspx">blogs.msdn.com/.../configuring-international-settings-from-the-command-line.aspx</a> or <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964650">msdn.microsoft.com/.../bb964650</a></p>

I havent found a way to reset it programmatically.</p>
<p>Not even restart works, explicit reset is necessary as far as i have tried. I have tried it on Windows 7.</p>
<p>intl.cpl doesnt shows previous settings until you reset to remove custom settings and then it goes to euros.</p>

<p>&quot;The new rupee sign will be encoded in Unicode 6.0 as U+20B9 INDIAN RUPEE SIGN. Publication of Unicode 6.0 will be briefly delayed until October 11 to allow opportunity for the character to be reviewed first in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2.&quot;</p>
